Coastal processes

Our researchers explore the evolution of coastlines using both numerical and field methods. We focus on salt marshes and mangroves, using a combination of remote sensing (primarily lidar) and fieldwork to understand the risks of sea level rise to these crucial environments.  

Past funding for this work has come from the NERC in the form of studentships and the Leverhulme Trust.
